John Kramer (also known as The Jigsaw Killer, or simply Jigsaw) is a fictional character from the Saw franchise. He is portrayed by American actor Tobin Bell.

He is different from most serial killers as he did not kill his victims directly, but instead relied on various lethal traps in which he places his victims. In most cases, they must subject themselves to excrutiating pain or trauma to escape, and prove their will to live.
